Pros

- some really good people still work there

Cons

- if a bad review goes on Glassdoor HR solicits the staff to write positive reviews, which is pretty odd for a company that has built itself on reviews integrity - HR person has been overheard making racist and homophobic comments on several occasions - same HR person gave a sexual harassment talk in which the woman in the example lied about being harassed and therefore ruined the man's life, even after being called out for it being a Not-All-Men example she continued using it - low-key racism happening all the time, for instance: a person of colour asked on SEVERAL occasions how her English is so good - very high turnover, they fired most of the senior staff and replaced them with lackeys who are unhappy but don’t bother standing up for themselves - high turn over in dev team because there isn’t any interesting work to do - peoples targets keep getting moved so no one can make commission - very disorganized, impossible to get any answers about how the organization is run - low pay - avoid at all costs, this place is toxic

Pros

Work from home, so you make your own hours. Show up for phone meetings and you're all good. Easy enough to sell, and once sold, you don't have to give service to customers, that is handled by someone else.

Cons

The only good review for this company on this site was CLEARLY written by a specific person on the management team (I guess he works here too, but yuk- a review company faking reviews is a bit of a joke.). They keep announcing "new plans". It's framed as evolution and growth. In actuality, it's a company that keeps changing the gameplay instead of editing the roster. The management is completely ineffective and a few of them have personal boundary issues. Fellow employees have no idea what is going on and how the site works.
